Poor facsimile,
but enough to remind us-
lest we forget you.

November 10, 2016

Sleepless night, future
far from certain, I yawn- bring
me a cup of tea.

November 9, 2016

It takes a cat to
teach you that you truly own
nothing- they own you.

November 8, 2016

Colours I can't quite
describe, deep and passionate-
early Christmas gift.

November 7, 2016

Memories of years
past trapped in scarlet blooms- time
travel on Monday.

November 6, 2016

Mini tiger basks
in Sunday morning sun- he's
king of this jungle.

November 5, 2016

By my side through sick
and win, lose and snooze- even
if you look grumpy.

November 4, 2016

Future scarlet blooms,
something bright on a drab day-
amaryllis buds.

November 3, 2016

Those precious few days,
when autumn sun shines, I bask-
recharge for dark days.

November 2, 2016

Even on drab days,
there's something pleasing to find-
autumn's gorgeous gifts.

November 1, 2016

Springtime in autumn,
mock orange confused as me-
hibernate later.

October 31, 2016

Under the dead leaves,
there is a stench of death- the
winter is coming.

October 30, 2016

Shy violet spent
her days alone- the others
just didn't get her.

October 29, 2016

Her skin dry from fall-
shedding her summer garb, she
steps into winter.

October 28, 2016

In the autumn, I
rise late- humans blunder in
the dark morn like fools.

October 27, 2016

Curmudgeon? Maybe
I'm just a realist- wake
me when sun comes out.

October 26, 2016

A face so peaceful,
how could I abandon you
in bed? Let's sleep in.

October 25, 2016

You're unique- stand out
in matching crowds. Better to
be weird than boring.

October 24, 2016

Forget your "Monday
motivation"- stay in bed,
sleep, wait for Tuesday.

October 23, 2016

Last rays of the sun

captured in your shining face-

gold chrysanthemum.

October 22, 2016

I love my pretty
little flower- he loves me
so evidently!

October 21, 2016

It's easy to miss
subtle beauty- look closely,
you'll be rewarded.

October 20, 2016

You may be in a
fog, obstacles in your way-
the sun can still shine.

October 19, 2016

Night draws close, autumn
air floats through open window-
I'm falling for you.

October 18, 2016

Will autumn's work net
a glorious bounty in
summer? Time will tell.

October 17, 2016

Fate loves me, fate loves
me not, where will my course chart -
a "simple" blood test . . .

October 16, 2016

Other-worldly looks
hold my gaze- greyness outside,
yet you glow scarlet.

October 15, 2016

We reach for the stars,
hampered by looming clouds- one
day we might glimpse sun.

October 14, 2016

Rain lashes, single
pane windows fog as fall chill
deepens- snuggle close.

October 13, 2016

Sunny slumbers, dreams
of summers past get me through
fall- wake me in spring.
